Most orthopedic surgeons were aimed at the rigid internal fixation on the surgical treatment of the fracture. And the compression plate was developed and regarded as an excellent rigid internal fixation device by its advantages of accurate anatomical reduction, early joint mobilization and shortening of the duration of the fracture healing, which are chief aim of A.S.I.F. method. During the period of January 1970 to December 1979, 67 cases of diaphyseal fractures of the long bones were treated with compression plate according to A.S.I.F. method at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Seoul National University and results were obtained as follows: 1. The age of patient was ranged from 15 to 77, and the highest incidence was in the 3rd decade male group (31.4%). 2. Old fracture cases were slightly more than fresh cases, and the fresh femur fracture was the commonest. 3. The periods of the postop immobilization of fresh fractures were 3.7 weeks in humerun fracture, 6.3 weeks in forearm fractures, 8.7 weeks in femur fracture and 7.0 week in tibia fracture, and in old fractures about 4 weeks was longer than fresh fractures. 4. The bony union was accomplished in all cases between 8 week and 24 week. 5. The complication were 4 superficial infections, 4 deep infections, 1 delayed union and 9 joint stiffnesses. 6. Compression plate fixation is considered as an excellent method for the treatment of the fractures of the long bones.

Most of the malignant tumors of the pancreas are adenocarcinomas arising from the ductal epithelium. Primary leiomyosarcoma of the pancreas, even though it is the most common sarcoma of the pancreas, is very rare. We present a case of leiomyosarcoma of the pancreas, probably primary, with metastases to the stomach, lymph nodes, and abdominal wall. A 52-year-old woman visited the hospital with vague right upper abdominal pain and weigh loss of 6 kg for 2 months. The radiological and endoscopic examination revealed that she had a large heterogeneous mass, 11 cm in size, in the pancreatic body and tail, a 4 cm-sized mass in the paraaortic area, and a 3 cm-sized polypoid mass in the stomach. Histologically, they were all similar to one another and composed of markedly pleomorphic cells. Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies showed definite smooth muscle differentiation of the tumor cells. Two months later, the patient underwent an excision of a new 3 cm mass in the right lower abdominal wall, showing features of well differentiated leiomyosarcoma.

Pustulotic arthro-osteitis is a rheumatic syndrome of unknovn cause, characterised by an inflammatory osteitis of the sternocostoclavicular region and pustuosis palmaris et plantaris. Although many ases of the disease have been reported in Japan, it, has not been reported in Korea so far. Three cases of pustulosis palmaris et plantaris associated i rith sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis or pustulotic arthro-osteitis are presented.

Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease, associated with marked inflammatory cells (of mast cells and eosinophils) and severe itching, which leads to clinical problems in the pediatric population. This study was designed to investigate the inhibitory effects of luteolin liposome solution, that is entrapped the hydrophobic luteolin (one of the flavonoids) into ethosome to improve its stability, by using hapten-induced atopic dermatitis animal model (NC/Nga mice).The luteolin liposome treated mice showed anti-inflammatory effect as evidenced by the lowering of erythema and edema in clinical observation, reduction of inflammatory cell infiltration and epidermal thickness in histopathological examination, when compared with TNCB induced controls. Luteolin liposome solution also reduced the serum IgE level which played important roles in the atopic dermatitis model. These results suggest that luteolin liposome solution has some merit in this formulation showing inhibitory effects for the atopic dermatitis.

8.Influence of Repeated Exposures to Hypobaric Chamber on Acute Hypoxia Tolerance.

BACKGROUND: Acute hypoxia tolerance has been evaluated by the time of useful consciousness, subjective symptoms, cardiovascular changes, visual deterioration, psychological performance, and so forth. But these methods are either subjective, lacking strict objectivity, or too demanding to collect sufficient data. Pulse oximeter monitoring has come to be used not only in hospitals but in the aviation environment. This noninvasive oxygen monitoring apparatus warrants a highly objective analysis to investigate acute hypoxia tolerance. METHODS: Eight healthy male volunteers (20-25 years old) were exposed three times to a simulated altitude of 25,000 ft (7,620 m) at intervals of 7 days. We monitored arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) and pulse rate by a pulse oximeter. The duration from taking the mask off to the time of 60% SaO2 was regarded as acute hypoxia tolerance. The venous hemoglobin concentration was measured a day before exposure to hypoxia. A questionnaire on the 14 subjective hypoxic symptoms was obtained after hypobaric chamber training. RESULTS: There were neither differences of acute hypoxia tolerance, hemoglobin concentration, nor pulse rate according to the repeated exposure of hypoxia. Four symptoms of sleepiness, fatigue, flushing and thinking impairment were sustained regardless of repeated exposures to hypoxia. But the incidence of symptoms of ear pain, anxiety, abdominal pain were reduced according to the repeated hypoxia. CONCLUSION: With pulse oximeter monitoring there was no difference between the values of time of 60% SaO2 in repeated exposures to hypoxia. The incidence of some subjective symptoms was reduced according to the repeated exposures to hypoxia.

Homozygous Protein C deficiency is a rare genetic disease with catastrophic and fatal purpura fulminans like or thrombotic complication occurring during the neonatal period. Purpura fulminans is characterized by microvascular thrombosis in the dermis followed by perivascular hemorrhage, necrosis, and minimal inflammation. Laboratory findings are consistent with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy: We report a case of purpura fulminans in a neonate with the findings of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy and an undetectable level of protein C activity, whose parents proved to be heterozygous protein C deficiency.
